I probably won’t have time tomorrow to post since I have five more puppies leaving to get groomed and I have to pack!!!!!!! Five left already gone. I am letting them go a tad early so there are not quite so many here for my caretakers to worry with and so I won’t be quite as worried either. Trust me, 18 is alot to manage and while I’m pretty good at this, 18 have given me a run for my money as they say. lol… not complaining — never complaining — I just love it and them so… But I do know the work involved and how you can make mistakes so I know less is easier. You don’t know how many times I’ve counted heads two and three times to be sure I haven’t left anyone outside. Its scarry — given the cold weather and that I let big dogs out there — so I double and triple check. I have twice gotten out of bed to come back down and count once again. Today I had to rethink because some have left so no more 18 and I’m doing the math in my head as I count going — wait a minute — how many are there now? Funny… And, I groom my babies before they go so people don’t have to take them to a groomer before they’ve had all their shots. That is five puppies groomed in a couple of days and then I had to bathe/dry Mimi’s show coat because she would be a big matted mess when I get home from NYC if I didn’t. Tomorrow, five more leave. And I haven’t packed yet. And my friend who is going with me is staying the night so I won’t have time to play on my computer like I am doing now when I should be heading to bed too. And this is after about two weeks of lots of gearing up to all this plus a girl here to breed to Mondo for a few days (that’s a whole other story) — Reny — a gorgeous & darling girl out of my Jada and sired by my Griffin that I am lucky to co-own with Julia and Dave in MD — loved having her here though— saw all her ancestors coming through her — her Granny TT, Luca, her momma and daddy… wow… one of the things I love about being a breeder… plus a girl that was bred to Mondo here for a sonogram (yes, she is preganant, no I’m not whelping/rearing that litter).
Here are a couple who left today.
and Mimi — after spending about three hours on being beautified, she wrestles with her daddy Mondo and now looks like this … sigh.
